A UFO is simply an Unidentified Flying Object. I believe they exist, whatever they are and wherever they are from. Too many people have seen strange things to say it's a figment of imagination. What they are though is another thing. Another 'universe', 'dimension', secret technology, who knows? It would be very interesting to find out for sure! It would be rather scary to be invaded by extra terrestrials though... a sort of 'War of the Worlds'..

Could there really be something to the UFO phenomena? Amazing documentary
by yadda yadda 2 init's easy to just poo-poo the ufo thing, especially if you're naturally very skeptical after your jw experience as i am, but when you see documentary's like this it seems undeniable that some kind of inexplicable phenomenon is occuring.
.
could vehement deniars of the ufo phenomenon please suspend their criticisms until they've at least watched the whole documentary, to be fair to others who are more open-minded on this subject.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjismjxshpg.

You've come a long way in those two years bro! More than I have! LOL
You're doing a great job with your videos. I think you're so right what you say about JWs. After all, many of them are family and friends we've had for years. They need videos like these, it's ones like this that gets the thinking ones thinking!
Hope your next year goes even better!

Were You Tough On Your Fellow Witnesses?
by minimus inwhen i was younger, i saw things as a young, inexperienced man.
i thought i knew it all, but time would prove otherwise.
i believed that as long as you accepted "mother's" counsel, then everyone should just follow jehovah's organization's guidance.. i realized some witnesses actually loved that thought, that it's either black or white.

Minimus, I think you would have been a lovely elder... such a shame that all the good ones eventually go. I'm still 'in' and happy that the elders in our cong are all lovely too. Really kind people trying thier hardest to help and care for others against the odds. If that changes, there would be nothinig that would keep me in, family or not.
Of course they get things wrong sometimes, because they are 'following orders' but I don't think any of them are 'tough'. Like all JWs they have been mislead. The blind leading the blind.

No one, adult or child should be forced to do something that goes against their conscience, regardless of whether others think it's right or wrong. It's cruel, especially to a child.

My adorable 5 year son explaining the meaning of life
by jwfacts ini asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.
like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.
he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.

JW Apolgist rant here...and confession.
by Julia Orwell ini really don't like people disparaging active jws on this site by calling them stupid, idiots, morons and that, and making out like they're willing puppets to the gb or cruel at heart.
or describing them like they're puke or as having no desire to learn or listen.. to you, all these things may be true.
we all have opinions and are entitled to them.

I actually apologised to my sons the other day for the way I'd brought them up to see things a certain way (a judgemental way) and that now I no longer see things that way. My sons are all grown and all in and I am unravelling all those wrong ideas I'd implanted in their minds over all those years. It is lovely to see the unravelling going on, like seeing blossoms opening on a flower and all the feelings of guilt for 'not doing enough' dropping away. They are seeing that being a good husband/father, being kind and caring to other people (ALL people) is far more important than sitting in a meeting or going knocking on doors. They view disfellowshiped people differently now and don't feel so tied to do everything the WT says or not thinking outside the box or thinking independent thoughts.

Beauty is only skin deep as they say. It's what's inside that counts. If you are a beautiful person inside you will be loved no matter what your looks and the people who love you will care about YOU and not your appearance.
Confidence helps. Good grooming helps. A warm smile is the most beautiful thing there is, especially if it reaches the eyes. Kindness towards others is very attractive and a genuine interest in other people.
If you think you are ugly, you will behave ugly. The most beautiful people are those that don't think about themselves but think about others.
Forget about your outside appearance. Dump the drugs and work on yourself from the inside out. Try smiling at people (genuinely) and see what a difference it makes.
Have you ever seen a really old person, a face covered in wrinkles and with hardly any teeth? But that old man or lady loves life and loves the people around them, their eyes sparkle with mischief and they give you a big gummy smile. That's beauty and everybody loves them.

The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.
by Stand for Pure Worship ini suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.
i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.
(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

You must have some doubts SFPW, or else you wouldn't be here. If you're trying to argue with us to strengthen your faith it won't work. You'll be left with even more doubts.
Your words come straight out of a watchtower. Very robotic. Try and do some thinking of your own. You have got a mind of your own haven't you?
